Hunter x Hunter 1999

I have spent way too long watching episodes of and reading about Hunter x Hunter. Of the two Anime versions, the 1999 one seems to be canonical as far as I'm concerned, except that it doesn't have any of the story from the Magna that was written after 1999, arguably the defining arcs of the series, and has wacky "filler" episodes that invent whole stories not in the original magn. Aside from the "Beetle 7" phones, most of the character design and story changes made in the 2007 series are embarassing, although overall the consistency of both series to the magna is surprisingly high. Here are some links:
